Hi, I read up on Velostat and decided that it could be a safe option for my task.
Now I need to find out how to switch a 1.5v dc circuit, by the change of resistance, when the Velostat is compressed.
I have a propane gas hob, that did not have a pizo ignitor. Tired of using a gas lighter I decided to investigate my options.
I bought a 1.5v dc pizo ignitor with 3 outlets. I bought 3 x pixo anodes. I installed the anodes and connected everything, all working perfect.
Now, I want to avoid installing a large push button ignitor in the furniture. I would like the ignitor to opposite when the gas tap is turned on.
I want to avoid any sparks near to a propane gas suply, so I wanted to enclose 2 strips of copper, with Velostat between them and enclosed in resin.
Now, I need to work out how to use the change in resistance to operate a relay and connect the 1.5v dc battery, to the pizo spark maker. As the Velostat does not create a direct switch operation.
Any help would be great.
